Primary Education
All these programmes are implemented around our production sites situated in rural hinterlands or semi-urban locations. The programmes are aimed at increasing chances of employability either through imparting training in skills, better
education or reduction of morbidity.
The programme provides infrastructural support
to Government-run primary schools and learning through Supplementary Learning Centres to stem drop-outs and enable more children to complete school and move on to higher standards.
Our supplementary learning centres provided extra coaching to thousands of primary school goers from poor families. In order to increase
enrolment, poor children receive school uniforms and text/exercise books. A network of rural libraries and resource centres enrich the process of learning for these children. State-run schools are made more attractive for children through infrastructure support, comprising mainly of benches and chairs.

Primary Health & Sanitation
Poor hygienic conditions are the main cause
of high morbidity, especially amongst at-risk women and young children. Low cost sanitary toilets improve hygiene in villages while backyard horticulture provides nutritional supplements. Our health camps address the curative needs of villagers.
